Velotric T1 review in a nutshell: a snazzy city electric bike with plenty of app-controlled smart features. In a post-VanMoof-collapse world, this might be a slight issue for some, but if you're happy to risk it, you get an excellent value-for-money commuting machine.
Many electric bikes just pop an electric motor and a battery onto a fairly traditional bike frame to make a two-wheeled vehicle that goes a little faster. A few tries to make them smarter, like the VanMoof S3 or Urtopia ebike — both rather unfortunate in their own ways. The Velotric T1 (formerly the Velotric Thunder 1) joins them in the push to make a smarter ebike. The question is: is it good enough to be listed among the best electric bikes?
